Butterfly release - take one

We released the first 5 butterflies today!  Maybe it was just the weather, but it seemed like the butterflies that had emerged first were starting to get restless.  I didn't want to risk them damaging their wings so we moved up our release date to today.

We were hoping that they'd stick around for a bit and land on the kids' brightly colored shirts, but that didn't happen.  As soon as the butterflies found their way out of the butterfly habitat, they took off!  Each one flew up high, over the house and they were gone.  L was pretty disappointed.


We saved 5 butterflies to release tomorrow since S wasn't here today to see this.
